Hi, I'm mostly a lurker here. I'm on Micronor for birth control and hadn't had a period since I started the pill last May. My son just turned one last Friday, so on Monday he started drinking cow's milk at daycare and continuing to breastfeed in the morning and at night. Basically, I stopped...

Hi, I lurked here and posted a couple times back in 2002 and 2003. I breastfed my daughter for 25 months and I'm now 19 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and hoping to successfully breastfeed this baby as well. I'll probably just lurk again until this baby makes its appearance and hopefully I...

Hello all, My DS is five weeks old and I was told by my lactation consultant to pump and dump while on Levaquin (L3). I happened to mention this to my pediatrician today, and she said it was fine to go back to breastfeeding - hooray! I've been pumping and dumping for 10 days, and my milk supply...

Greetings folks. My son is now two weeks old, and after a difficult start we're finally coming along on the breastfeeding front. I have one nipple that's somewhat inverted, so it's been more of a challenge to get him latched on that side, and it's more sensitive and thus more painful. While it's...

I'm pumping, but probably not often enough. I pump about 3 times during the day, and up to this point, that was enough. Is it enough to just pump more often, or do I need to supplement? If I pump more often, how often should I do it? I have pumped and bottle fed exclusively for over 4 months...

What's the best way to treat diarrhea -- mine, not the baby's -- while nursing a newborn? The BRAT diet doesn't seem to be helping.

Okay, I can't take it any longer. I'm starting Medifast on May 1st (sooner if the shipment arrives). I'm going to also continue to breastfeed Morgan to sleep at nite. I haven't heard anything negative about it. Any advice?? ~Carol Ann

Since birth, my 14 mo DD has been waking between 2 and 4 times a night to nurse. Three weeks ago I decided it was time to stop nursing her during the night in the hope that she would start sleeping through. (I am soooo tired.) For the first few nights if she woke before 1am I offered her water...

One of the things I really missed while pregnant was sleeping on my stomach. Now it's over 6 weeks since DD Louka was born, and the obstetrician checked the caesar scar and says all is fine, I tried sleeping on my stomach again for a couple of days. Those two days my breasts did n't seem to fill up...

Hi everyone, I'm an occasional poster, frequent reader. I should thank you all in advance for providing such an invaluable resource for nursing mothers. DD and I share a wonderful nursing relationship. When we recently moved to Panama, we successfully weaned DD out of the family bed, and cut...

I had thrush 3 times in 5 months. The first time when after I gave birth which lasted for 2 months(Cesarian), then when he was 3 month old. Lasted 3 weeks. Now again when he was 5 months old. I have had it for the past month. he turns 6 months old soon. I Used fluconozale the first two times and...

I once breastfed my 17 year old step brother. After my nipples felt sore and were erect for 4 hours. I love breast milk. please e-mail me back saying you'd like to put it in my pooper

Sore, cracked nipples again... at ELEVEN months :( .... is it thrush? Again? Jo -- Woman, Wife, Mother, Midwife

I know I shouldn't even validate this 'concern' with a moments worry, but is there a link between breastfeeding and anemia? My Mom insists I look anemic - but I just think she hasn't seen me at a healthy weight in so long. Since my daughter (4 mos) is sensitive to dairy, my Mom thinks I will just...

I was wondering whether af affects supply whilst she is actually visiting, IYKWIM. I have googled and found lots of posts saying there can be a dip just before AF appears, but nothing about during. DS (9 mths) has for sometime now been feeding one side per session except his bed time feeds where he...

Considering some of the stupid comments extended nursers get from people, I thought this was cute. http://www.break.com/index/meetingtheparents.html Marie

I went to the gym down the road today to sign up. The man taking care of me started talking about his 5 month old son (I had both my girls with me) and he starts going on about what a good sleeper he is. He then tells me how they started their baby on rice cereal really young. Apparently...

I came here for advice when DD wasn't gaining weight and received a lot of help. Skylar is now 8 months old and has her first tooth. It isn't completely in yet, but it is through the gum. Sometimes when she is through nursing she will pull up and off and I am scrapped by the tooth. I think that...
